As world leaders gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), anticipation is mounting for countries to report the next round of their plans to meet global climate goals, which are due by February 2025. Although some countries may begin announcing theirs plans during UNGA.These climate plans are known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) — which must be updated every five years — and set out the policy plans countries will use to bring down their greenhouse gas emissions in line with the ambition of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5C. Current pledges are off track, and put the world on track for 2.9C of warming this century, which would be a catastrophic outcome, according to scientists, climate policy experts and the United Nations Secretary General.Over 170 countries submitted NDCs in the last round. Each round of NDCs is supposed to be more ambitious, according to the architects of the Paris agreement, so key to the next round of NDCs will be setting more ambitious near-term targets for 2030 as well as the mandated 2035 targets, and for governments to strengthen the policies that underpin them.NDCs also need to be coherent and take into account other policies like fossil fuel subsidies which may be acting against them.&quot;So far very little NDCs include measures related to fossil fuel consumption and so we&#x27;re really looking at that you know for this next round,&quot; said climate policy expert with World Resources Institute, Jamal Srouji.Plans should include measures to help communities and ecosystems build resilience to climate impacts like storms, wildfires and extreme heat which are becoming more frequent.NDCs also need to create jobs, improve health, reduce pollution and ensure the transition to a greener world is fair to workers and communities.Countries should also set up monitoring mechanisms to work out whether targets are being hit.To achieve the Paris Agreement&#x27;s targets, the United Nations says global greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut by around 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2035 from 2019 levels, aiming for net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. - Report from Reuters
